Grace VanderWaal returns as the infectiously sweet singer, now starstruck and lovestruck.

As with “Stargirl,” there’s a bone-deep decency to this sequel that’s pretty disarming.

A suitably quirky and sweet sequel that builds on the Stargirl mythos with nothing but good intentions.

Rated: B-

Let’s be honest: no one asked for Hollywood Stargirl. The first film had very little emotional attachment and depth to hold the audience’s interest, and the same can be said for the sequel.

Rated: D

A charming and wholesome movie boasting gorgeous singing and hummable songs. Grace VanderWaal is a charismatic protagonist who looks lovely and sounds even better.

Rated: 3.5/5

May not be wondrously fresh like before, but this original sequel exploratively treats the young, cheerful heroine as her own chapter surrounded by a remarkable cast contributing to the familiarly artistic heartening resonance as thematic alignment. (B+)

Grace VanderWaal is the perfect fit for this movie. Although made by a Disney affiliate it feels like a well made indie.

I rewatched this and it really holds up. I enjoyed her journey from a lonely child dependent on her mother (who is busy and stressed at work) to a young woman who is building a future in the world and able to support her mother as an equal. The songs Love and Mercy and Dreaming are my favourites but all the songs are great.

I really like that they cast Grace Vanderwall as Stargirl. Her singing was exceptional. For the movie, I really like that they created a sequel to the original Stargirl movie. I also like that they focused more on the life of Stargirl. Overall, I really like it, I wish that they created another sequel to this movie.
